Yup. I agree. My Mackbook Pro with retina has 16 GB RAM glued to the motherboard, as well as the SD card. Order as you want it, because nothing can be upgraded! On Wed, Feb 26, 2014 at 10:08 PM, Bob Sneidar wrote: > I suppose, but then I could call the Air a high end tablet that doesn't > ha

Re: Support for Windows XP - Found word(s) list error in the Text body

I suppose, but then I could call the Air a high end tablet that doesn’t have touch yet. :-) (strtching…) But I’m talking about their line of Mackbook Pros. If I’m buying a top of the line Apple, I would very much like for them to NOT glue the battery in place. And soldering the memory onto t

Well if Apple continues to solder it’s memory onto the motherboard of it’s laptops, and glue it’s batteries to the cases, I may not be far behind you guys in switching to Linux. Bob On Feb 26, 2014, at 19:05 , Mark Wieder wrote: > Richard- > > Wednesday, February 26, 2014, 9:31:05 AM, you

The elephant in the room here is that there isn’t a world of nasty people waiting to release exploits of 10.5 into the wild the moment Apple drops support for it. There IS however, for Windows XP. Bob On Feb 26, 2014, at 08:46 , Lynn Fredricks wrote: >> Dropping support for Windows XP woul

Re: Support for Windows XP

People do not change easily. They will stick to what they know. If they *have* to get a new PC, and they were running XP, they will almost certainly buy another Windows product. I know this because I have spent my life trying to get users to just look at something new, try some new way of doing

The past 5 years have been the year of linux on the desktop for many people that I know. Friends, family, and colleagues bring me their computers to fix when malware has held their systems hostage. My first question is always, "does the system contain any valuable data, and what software do you u

Re: Support for Windows XP

Sure did. I'm honestly not far at all from saying goodbye to windows for all but testing and infrequent purposes. The only thing keeping me here was occasional PC Gaming and some wonky livecode stuff from a few versions ago. I tried it for almost a year but found myself booting less often into my l

Re: Support for Windows XP

Should I dare to say is this the "year of linux on the desktop" that we've been hearing about? Honestly, I think it stops becoming fanboyism when it makes the shift to a real trend. I think some major players are making a cultural shift away from microsoft that makes linux the realest contender I s
